I had the unfortunate experience of that once when my child developed a rash and we were advised to go to A&E. It was a Saturday night & a few unsavouries knocking about. Unfortunately a cute baby and a drunk adult is like a moth to a flame....couldn't get out of there fast enough and the rash was nothing so it was all good but it's like another world in there in the small hours. The staff will have seen it all before but shouldn't have to take any sh*t...but they do 🙄.

Yes, it was horrific! I can imagine how awful it must have been for you, a drunk cooing over a poorly baby, how dreadful! I like a drink as much as anyone but drinking to the extent you are fighting or falling over is just irresponsible and an utter waste of our slim resources!

I think my daughter had the right idea this year, she parboiled most of the veg and cooked the meat last night and had a cold buffet of starter snacks ready on the table when we arrived- so we ate the starters and opened the presents and had drinks while she warmed everything up for the main meal!
But I still remember (and remind her about every year!) her first go at Christmas dinner 7 years ago when she bought a cheap turkey unplucked and full of giblets and me the vegan (but with sophisticated animal autopsy skills) had to drunkenly pluck it using her eyebrow tweezers at midnight on Christmas eve and remove its innards while all the meat eaters whinced in horror!
Today was much more slick and professional with no eyebrow tweezers and many vegan foods :) even a vegan cheeseboard and vegan chocolate truffles!
 
A few family members commenting saying I shouldn’t drink at all as I’m driving. Now that’s my usual stance, but I only had a few sips of the first alcoholic drink (almond dairy free baileys 👎) and a few of port. I poured it away because they put me off it. They didn’t comment on the fact my older sister would also be driving and she had wine. More than I consumed of the baileys and port!

Second rant is my husband not wrapping the kids’ presents. I warned him a couple of days ago. Told him again when we got back from church. He then got into bed, said he was tired and went to sleep. So I had to stay up till round 2:30 wrapping. And then he wouldn’t help the girls build their doll house and one of their dolls’ cot. Told him to do it with them tomorrow but I don’t know if that will happen

It was an ok Christmas. Nice food and company but the above ruined it a bit for me. Probably blowing things out of proportion.

Rant over. The piggies must have realised it was Christmas 🤣 salad including carrot peel and a tomato each!
 
So , it was a good christmas!
Apart from the fact i forgot to put mint sauce on my lamb!
 
Google news sites - snow to batter Britain next week... A week later, snow set to batter Britain next week, a week later again, snow to batter Britain next week, then another week later.... Snow to batter Britain next week, then yet another week later... Rain

Do one will you
 
Mine is just about the difficulty of my mother. She takes out everything on everyone (apart from my brother), nothing's ever her fault, she always puts the blame on someone else, if she's in a bad mood everyone else must be too, she never thanks anyone for helping out and so on.

For example, the other day I washed, dried and put away the dishes for her. She walked into the room and immediately started complaining about what I had done wrong with cleaning. I hadn't put them in the draining rack the way she likes them to be nor have I dried the surface correctly. I explained that I was going to dry the surface after I had put everything away, which also meant that the draining rack problem would be sorted, but she was still annoyed then left without thanking me.
Yesterday she was complaining about god knows what so I asked her to not be horrible to me on Christmas day. I left to take some time alone after she told me I'm too sensitive. And yesterday I made the mistake of showing her a jumpsuit I'm saving up for. I had been saving up for a long time + being able to purchase one would make me very happy. In spite of being aware of this, she called it awful.
And today, I was cleaning out the guinea pig cage. I had put the guinea pigs away, cleaned everything outside in the rain, swept outside, took everything to + from the garage, soaked down the inside of the cage, put everything back together and got the guinea pigs back inside. She had handed me a sponge, a bucket and hoovered the floor where some hay had fallen then turned to me and started to complain about all of the hard work she had done when I asked her if she could help me put everything away again.
To make it worse, there's something in my personal life that she isn't aware of yet but it will certainly make her dislike me a lot. I'm dreading telling her.

Sorry for posting something so long, I really had to get it all out.
 
@cassts its difficult because it is your mother. But I think you just have to ‘suck it up’ for now knowing what she is like. Don’t expect any thanks or kindness, just get on and do what you see needs doing. That way you’re not disappointed.

My (maternal) grandmother was a little hard to please and my mum on one or two occasions was in tears because of the things her mum said. She seemed to favour a younger brother, and didn’t really show my parents ‘gratitude’ despite what they used to do for her. In the end my mum did speak up (but she was older), and just resigned herself to the fact she was like that. I hope whatever it is you have support to work through it.
 
omg that is so relatable @cassts my mum when one of us does something wrong she will try to find anything if someone else did something wrong for example my sister dropped a water and she got mad and then she started a whole rant to my brother on how he needs to be more responsible with his studies
 
Being invited to my brothers for boxing day tea - crumpets done on the fire etc, only to be asked not to take my dog as she'll leave wet, muddy footprints on the carpet! The 10 minute pavement walk up the road to his place (with her coat on) & the provision of a towel to wipe her feet with obviously won't be acceptable for my sis in law.
Their two dogs spent the day with mine at my parents yesterday, as I was working & they went visiting their grandchildren.
Its fine to dump their dogs for the day, being fed, watered walked & spoilt (begging, sitting on the furniture & jumping up), but not for my well behaved dog to spend 2-3hrs sleeping on their floor.
I'm not a fan of Christmas but good will & a bit of seasonal spirit wouldn't go amiss from them!
To be fair to say I'm incensed would be an understatement!
So I'm not bothering to go see them at all.
Christmas nuts to them!

But a merry Christmas to all on here :D
Xx

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely just try to keep my head low for the time being.
And I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.

It’s okay. I was younger so didn’t really see her like that.
 
My rant for the day which is funny now but wasnt at the time: at 6am my phone rings, I can see its my daughter's number, so I answer in a panic- I can hear breathing and whimpering, I'm desperately shouting hello, no response... imagining all sorts of horrors... just about to wake piggy daddy and get him to drive round there... when I get a text: "sorry didnt mean to phone you the baby grabbed my phone while I was changing his nappy and he must have pressed redial"
Well thank you baby Alfie for almost giving your Nana a heart attack before dawn!

When you are trying to blitz your bedroom ready for decorating at some point next year... I have so much stuff ☹
 
So I posted our Christmas card the other day to one of the forums my hubby owns to greet the members Merry Christmas. The card we sent this year was the one I posted in the Advent Calendar here (20th Dec). Anyway, one member (a Mod mind you) replied something like "what the heck is this? Is this some kind of Christmas dinner aperitif?" Another member replied that those are guinea pigs and they are eaten in Ecuador. The Mod replied again saying "Mind you chicken wings have more meat in them."

This :cen: pissed me off! Why can't they just shut up if they don't have anything nice to say?! Considering the thread was Christmas greetings! And to think my hubby owns the forum and I am the admin. Some people are unbelievable sometimes. I replied to them how :cen: disappointing they were and to just :cen: shut up!

When the cashier puts the coins on the note then it all slides off and then they say oops sorry

We should learn to pay them that same way too. Notes then loose coins on top. See how they like it! 😂 When my son was younger, we'd always 'pass' or 'fail' a cashier on if they put notes or coins in his hand first when giving him his change.

Put marmite on the note so they have sticky hands and can't get away to clean
